Support the Duluth 7!

Posted by Thane Maxwell57sc on

On November 2, 2015, seven people were arrested in the Enbridge offices in downtown Duluth, after Enbridge staff refused to read their letter, signed by representatives of 5 different organizations with thousands of members across the region. The letter requested several changes to the process for Enbridge's multiple crude oil pipeline proposals, including formal consultation with tribal governments and full environmental review. When Enbridge refused to talk and called the police, the "Duluth 7", in an act of civil disobedience, chose not to leave. They were charged with tresspassing and taken to jail, then released later that night. On January 28th, they have their pre-trial conference. Please join us OUTSIDE the St. Louis County Courthouse at noon for a press conference and rally to show support!
